Meeting survivability uses the concept of a survivability token. This token is automatically sent to the client when a user logs in to the Zoom account during regular meeting operations. The token is unique to the customer's account and is shared by the Zoom cloud to enable the client to operate in survivability mode during an outage.
However, if a client hasn't logged in during normal meetings, then the client won't have the token and must be "primed" with the survivability token manually to use the survivability functionality.
Administrators can deploy the Meeting Survivability token to their desired Windows, macOS, or Linux devices to ensure that users within their organization can communicate effectively and collaborate even if access to the Zoom Cloud is unavailable.
The Survivability token can be deployed via MSI configuration. An example configuration would be as below, where [Token] is replaced with the generated token:
msiexec /i ZoomInstallerFull.msi ZConfig=AllowedMeetingSurvivability=[token]
The Survivability token can be deployed via PLIST configuration. An example configuration would be as below, where [Token] is replaced with the generated token:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>AllowedMeetingSurvivability</key>
<string>[Token]</string>
</dict>
</plist
Note: Administrators can also download a list file with the AllowedMeetingSurvivability entry already configured and deploy the file directly to the desired macOS devices.
If incorporating within your Zoom global policy registration file:
Note: Administrators can also download a registry file with the AllowedMeetingSurvivability entry already configured and deploy the file directly to the desired Windows devices.
The Survivability token can be deployed to Linux devices via a Config file. An example configuration would be as below, where [Token] is replaced with the generated token:
AllowedMeetingSurvivability="[Token]"
This configuration key and value would be set in the configuration file located here:
~/.config/zoomus.conf
